Aww, they're so gosh darn cute. And so much easier to deal with at that age. I had to actually bribe the 5 yr old. "If you dont drink your beer, you cant have any ammo".

Or cigarettes.
Or drive the car.
Or come with me to the strip joint.

We still have a grill but if I eat one more thing with a stripe on it, I'm going to scream.
The best way to get out of even trying to cook is to ask Hubby, "So what are you making for dinner?" The answer to that is a quick grabbing of the car keys and off we go.
We've had a couple of last hurrahs at our favorite restaurants. Today, we're meeting his old boss, Pierre, for drinks. Pierre. How can the owner of a Swiss bakery not be FAT? There oughta be a law... Great guy, handsome, fit and makes some of the best puff pastry (obviously none of which he eats...grrrr) I've ever had.
The best thing about Pierre...He sings the praises of my hubby whenever possible. He made Hubby's last job here a positive thing to remember - and for that I'm personally grateful. Aramark HR Director wrote Hubby a recommendation they're going to have to read wearing SUNGLASSES - it's so glowing. With great references, hopefully Hubby can get the corporate dining gig he and I BOTH want him to have. No weekends, nights or holidays. Great way to make a living in the culinary arts without surrendering evenings, weekends and holidays. I don't like my holidays messed with...
We decided to send much of our commercial equipment to a Second Hand restaurant equipment guy down in Farmington, NM. We have worked with him in the past and trust him. We still have my stove (yay!) and a 20 quart Hobart which will go with us. The other stuff took up so much room and was expensive to run. Oh well...Painful choices had to be made but I kept the good stuff!
Well, back to the TAIL END packing. No matter how much you accomplish, there is always something loose that needs boxing up. Enough procrastination...I'm armed with tape dispenser - and definitely ready.

hmmm - I see how you came by your tag line! ;-)
Seriously, that probably did taste very good! I like creative uses for leftovers!!

Wolvie,that tag line is my anthem! :-)
I had a reputation while camping of being the best cook when there was seemingly no groceries left....and I even have made that rice-a-roni meal at home.
Gotta admit, it tasted better out there in the woods.
